AN "EATING HOUSE"
And quietly but surely the word has gain
4 circulation that the Rock Island COMPANY

And quietly but surely the word has gain
ed circulation that the Rock Island company
has decided to put up near their passenger
depot an s'eating house" A smile and a
wink usually accompany the term 'eating
house" which has sort of ''bousting" effect
on the ''gasping" spectator A little of the
talk injected into his ears makes him feel as
though there Is something yet for which he
can afford to live.
Somehow the term "eatipg house" made its
debut few days ago and to it is added
something that sound. like great big pile Of
brick and stone going up as rapidly as if by
magic. They talk about a big hotel Whether
it sounds ridiculous, absurd or how not, they
talk about hotel all the same.
It was feared by some that the whole affair
was the product of diseased Imagination
and that when it was sifted down the bottom
Of even the seating house" business would
be subject to the force OF gravitation. An
inquiry into the affair revealed the fact that
the report for the 'eating house" scheme
were further applied they were almost non
productive OF desired results As 1t being q
hotel the man of knowing saith not. As to
cost the men of knowing saith little that was
calculated to wear out pencils and give re-
pose to the anxious one. What it will be Is
not known to the average mortal.
Many argue that the company will put up
a good hotel if anything. They say that if
the affirmative nod is given to the ''eating
house" racket the public can feel assured
that it will be no snide affair. They think
it will be more than platform with shed
over it, with an oven over in the center.
In connection with the ''eating house" in
formation it was gained that the passenger
trains would be run in such a way as to bring
them into the city near meal time. The
south and north bound trains will pass each
other in this city.

ARIULD OPERA HOUSE

GARIRLD OPERA HOUSE
Girofe- Girohs, Lecocq's mast erpiece, was
presented last night at the Garfield to per
haps the largest audience ever assembled in
the house. At an early hour standing room"
only was hung above the box Office and many
were turned away unable to gain admit
lance Messrs. Ennis aud Young deserve
credit for their pluck in trying to present q
series of comic operas at a time when there
is usually dearth Of entertainment. The
troup is composed mainly Of members Of
Casino opera company, who played here last
Christmas. There were, however, some al
terations and many improvements. Miss
Jessie Hatcher, the prima donna, has im-
proved in every respect since her last
visit; her voice is rounder and fuller
and she plays with moro vivaciiy and life.
Nothing could be moro delicious than her
acting in the drunken scene, which she play
ed with the force and finish of q true artistic.
Charles Barnes, the tenor, was good and was
we'll received. Little May Smith, who has
obtained quito popularity as an actress, as
tonished everyone by her ap-
pearance as an operate artist.
Lee Walker was funny without vulgarity
aud received roar of laughter at his perplex-
ity to make one wife serve for two husbands
The most striking feature In the perfor-
nance was perhaps the Moor, this was in
deed a unique and clever conception well
worthy of such an artist as Fred Dixon.
The play was well mounted; the costumes
worn were all good, many pretty, some very
striking and artistic. The story is shorne
Of the French naughtiness but the points Of
interest are all well preserved and the at
tention of the audience is held from first to
last.
The only hitch in the whole performance
was the chorus, an incompleteness which
will soon be remedied. The excellence of
the leading parts, however, to great extent
compensated for this present defect

THE Lebonon Herald thinks the ex.
preston, New South" has got to be
chestnut, and asks that some one in
vent substitute far it. Why substi-
tute? Why not simply discontinue the
use OF an expression which, if it does
not convey false notion, is a meaning
less term? There has been no end OF
fool gable about the @New South" as
though this section had been but re.
Gently discovered and opened to civili-
zation. There would be as much sense
in saying new North" or "new West, .
or new United States, as there is in
IN applying such term to the Southern
States, as descriptive OF the spirit Of pro-
gress and improvement which pervades
her people! What is called the new
South is simply the old South redivi-
vus. The activity and energy displayed
In the development of industrial enter.
prises is not foreign or imported, nor is
1t something new and heretofore un-
heard of in this section. 1t is merely
the same old South, recovered and re-
cuperated from the effects OF a ruinous
war applying the force of her brains
and energy to take advantage OF the
opportunities which have been afforded
by the general progress and develop
ment OF the country. Those who apply
this term SO frequently seem to have
vague idea that the South has been
revolutionized, that it has been violent
ly wrenched from ancienkshabits of
llfe and thought which have - retofore
barred all hopes ofprosperous growth.
1t is proclaimed that the result OF the
war has been to break off some imagi
nary shackles which had bound the
South hand and foot and remove some
imaginary scales which had kept her
In the darkness of ignorance. This is
the way in which some OF our patroniz-
ing Northern friends are accustomed to
speak OF us, and few thoughtless
parrots in this section have learned to
repeat it, without having any notion
OF the meaning of the term. The in
dustrial movement now going on in !
certain Southern States is not a radical
departure from an old way, but simply
q moving toward. The same spirit ex-
isted among the people prior to the war
and the movement which is now going
on was arrested in its progress by the
